Multi evolution 500 questions..
I bought a multi evolution 500, last week.
Unfortunaly it has no hdd anymore..  It needs a 50 pin scsi hdd, but i really don't know which ones i can use? Is there a max capacity for instance? I'm also looking for a (digital)manual. Thanks in advance. |

i would guess you can use any 50pin scsi 1 drive or a scsi 2 drive when you use the install disc it will give you the max size you can install the drive. you can pick 50 pic scsi drives up on flebay or other places very cheaply.

you can use a 68 pin drive with a converter and active termination.
and set the drive up for use in the system,you can use a larger drive but only use part of it. |

It's a low cost (i.e. slow & cpu intensive) external SCSI card for the A500

How did the OP go with the drive and manual request?
I have this unit also, but not tried it since I picked it up. The unit has a place for 2 30pin SIP RAM modules. Would anyone know if a 30pin simm could be rigged with some soldered pins to suit the SIP socket? The later model apparently came with simm sockets. I doubt SIP RAM is available at a reasonable cost. |
